South Carolina Highway 93 (abbreviated S.C. Highway 93 or SC 93) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of South Carolina. It runs from US 76/123/SC 28 in Clemson northeast to US 123 in Easley.

Route description

The highway begins at the US 76/123/SC 28 concurrency west of downtown Clemson. From there, it goes east past Clemson University and into downtown. After exiting the city, it has two interchanges - one with US 76/SC 28 and one with US 123. It then runs through Central to Norris, where it meets South Carolina Highway 137. From Norris, the road continues northeast into Liberty. In downtown Liberty, SC 93 intersects US 178. After leaving Liberty, the highway continues toward Easley. As it enters Easley, it promptly meets South Carolina Highway 8, after which it enters downtown. Here, it intersects with South Carolina Highway 135. After leaving downtown, SC 93 meets US 123 one last time, where its northern terminus lies.

History

South Carolina 93 is the original alignment of US Highway 123 from Clemson to Easley. When US 123 was given a bypass to the south of Easley in 1958, it was US 123 Business. Between 1962 and 1964, a new freeway was built to carry US 123 from Easley to Clemson. When this was finished, all of former US 123 from Easley to Clemson was renumbered as today's SC 93.

Miscellanea

This is the second time a highway has been designated 93 in South Carolina. The first was created in the 1920s and ran through northern Lancaster County. In the 1950s, this was fully renumbered SC 200.
